L’Osier

Forerunner among the French restaurants, L’Osier has been providing Tokyo with the most authentic French cuisine since 1973. The menu is French to the core, with little to no adjustment for local tastes. However, the unsurpassable presentation exemplifies the delicate artistry of Japanese aestheticism. Colors are beautifully matched, and ingredients are balanced and arranged to make every dish a gallery-worthy masterpiece. The head chef, Olivier Chaignon, acquired his trade at prestigious French culinary schools and restaurants before taking control of the kitchen here in 2013. His menus feature French classics such as beef cheek, venison terrine, and foie gras. A la carte and set courses are both available.
